Tonight , Ingram, Murphy ,Murray, Jones, Williamson, McCollum, Alvarado,Hawkins are all OUT tonight against Cleveland and Missi is questionable. Have you ever in all your years of watching sports ever seen anything like this? I've heard of tanking but this franchise just flat out quit on its fanbase.

I honestly have never seen anything like this.

Midseason Saints this year was pretty close.

I have seen some NBA teams have to bring in emergency guys because of injuries, but that was for like a night or two.

I've never seen what the Pelicans are going through.

Fans are so traumatized by this team some actually think this is a sickout instead of the Basketball Gods laughing at us.

Honestly...

This is by far the most fitting end to this era of Pelicans basketball.

Honestly wish I wouldn't have paid for the year of Pelicans+. I would have dropped it after this first month. For the first time ever I have zero desire to watch this team play basketball. Has soured me on basketball as a whole this year.

I almost brought so thankful I didn’t. I feel sorry for the season ticket holders. Griff is such a coward for not addressing this. I hope all the national sports outlets pound the franchise over this. The local media is so freaking soft

At least he's just precautionary out and should be back next game. I saw BI listed with some sort of ankle sprain.

The biggest blowout in NBA history is 73 Points – Memphis Grizzlies 152, Oklahoma City Thunder 79 (Dec. 2, 2021) I think we get in the books tonight baws

Yeah, I think the shitty roll-out plus the shitty product is going to have significant impacts on the bottom line. Someone better get Jobu some whiskey.

Missing Murray on your list btw. It’s somehow worse than that.

It’s not basketball gods or a sick out it’s an owner that isnt paying attention and a gm that has enabled so much and been so soft in every aspect of building this team including managing injuries that he’s lost all control and credibility .

But they still had that one week where Ja went crazy and they even beat us twice I think before Ja was out for the year. I wonder when everyone comes back we’ll have one great week of Pels basketball before it all goes to shite again?

I’ve said it for a few years now, but you can’t establish a winning culture with a guy like Zion. This is going to be the third season in the Zion era where we are buried 10 games under .500 almost from the jump because he has come into camp fat and out of shape.

You can’t compartmentalize that - your best player has to be among your hardest working players. Our best player is the laziest person on the roster.
